Community Power Compass is a tool for thinking about
particular communities by considering different power dynamics, informed
by Graeber & Wengrow’s The Dawn of Everything: A New History of
Humanity... Rather than just deciding that all communities of a type are
the same, maybe tools like this can give people a better nuanced
approach when thinking about whether to join new communities, leave ones
they are part of, or just observe them from the outside. What makes
communities very different underneath, even if they appear very similar
on the surface? And how might having a more nuanced way of describing
these differences help people and organisations join, find or create
better communities?
The structure of the workshop will include a short presentation with
background information on the development of the tool, an interactive
Miro-board-style segment for the participants to interface with the
tool, and a group discussion for pattern-finding, sense-making, and
closing.
